About Cuban Oregano
Cuban oregano also known as Indian borage is a perennial succulent. It being perennial, is somewhat tender to the frost and will need protection during the winter. You will want to either bring it inside (like into a greenhouse) or keep it warm during the winter. But so long as you do that, it is perennial and will continue to grow throughout the year and thrive during the warm weather.
With it being a succulent, it is also a very popular house plant that a lot of people like these days.
The flowers can be white, pink or lavender colored. The plants at their full height get about 12 to 18 inches tall.
It is a part of the mint and dead nettle family. In culinary use, it is stronger tasting than Greek or Italian oregano that you’d typically use. It is used in a lot more Caribbean and Indian cooking, and is easy to propagate cutting from as well.
Tour of our Low-Maintenance Food Forest
This is our 2nd food forest property, one that is not watered nor cared for in the way we would want too. But, has still managed to be growing a good number of plants that can handle the heat and drought.

The best Growing Edible Gourd!
This popular edible italian gourd, sometimes known as “Snake Gourd” or “serpent of Sicily” but most commonly known under the names “Cucuzza” or “Cucuzzi,” is a gourd that grows like crazy for us here in North Florida! It is prolific, and, if you know how to turn it into a dish, delicious!

Florida Food Forest Tour!
We’re so excited to showcase a one-acre food forest property with you today!
This property is not ours though! This food forest belongs to Carla and James, whom will be graciously giving us the tour of the place. This North west Florida Food Forest is one created all by their own hands, having planted and mulched little by little over the past year. Come along and we’ll show you what they’ve got!
The Lovely Elderberry
Welcome back to another weekly vid! We hope you enjoy these videos, and we hope to continue making them throughout the summer. (We have a cool garden tour video coming up next week!) Today we’re talking about Elderberry, a prolific grower and well regarded medicinal plant. It is of course also one of our favorites!
We hope you learn bits of information that are useful to you and do your own research on the plants we present. We are still learning ourselves and want to share the wonders of plants and the many uses they have.
If you can inspire people to grow their own food and medicine, to get their hands dirty again, to hold reverence for the Earth once more, that is a wonderful thing!
